Evolution is in museums, parks, public buildings, and other publicly owned properties? Museums, maybe, but in amounts FAR less than Christian items would be found. Schools would be the only place I could imagine you might have a point. Do schools that teach religion alongside the regular curriculum not get any public funding in the US?Hobbit said:All of you keep talking like it's no big deal. However, let's take a religious belief each of you hold dear, like evolution. What if a bunch of Christians started suing to have it taken out of any public places. Publicly funded museums, schools, parks, public buildings, anything publicly owned was fair game. Then, whenever you started screaming about how evolution's being supressed, we just say, "So what's keeping you from believing it in your own home, huh?" It's utter bullcrap. You're pissing down my back and telling me it's raining and, frankly, I'm insulted that you think I'd believe it.

Mr. P, MissleMan, and BullyPulpit appear to be the leaders of this merry band of Christian hating heathens here. It's also clear that they will argue that there is "no war against Christmas" even though within the last ten years all Christian activities connected with Christmas have been wiped out of the public square, from government property, and forced out of the schools. And according to the Christmas haters here, I'm supposed to believe that this all has happened just accidently. That there is no one bitching that it's religous, and they want it all go away. That the aclu has NOT been at war with Christianity.
This is all so overwhelmingly absurd. I have NOT HEARD "Merry Christmas" in ONE RADIO AD. I have NOT SEEN or HEARD "Merry Christmas" in ONE TV AD. I've noticed that very few houses have Christmas lights, and even fewer have Christmas decorations. Christmas is being increasingly and systematically expunged frome everything business and public. And for anyone to come here and try and tell my it isn't, I have only one thing to say to you...
YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY AND A LIAR.
I make ONE post to this thread with my opinion that there is an extreme element out there with an agenda, and you call me a Christian hater?Pale Rider said:Back and forth, back and forth. It's pretty obvious by now how likes and dislikes Christmas and Christians on this board now.

Let me make this clear Pale, I dont hate Christians, and I dont hate Christmas. I do dislike extremists both left and right using the public by any means to promote their agenda though.

MissileMan said:In your typical fashion, you leap to assinie conclusions based on your delusional interpretation of what's going on. You insist that anyone who doesn't share your delusions is an extremist leftie heathen who's out to get you and the things you care about.
None of us has said anything anti-Christian or anti-Christmas in this thread. All we've said is that we think that you and some of the other posters are OVER-REACTING to what's happening.
You've got your panties in a bunch because you're not getting an exclusive anymore.
NEWSFLASH! Christianity isn't the ONLY religion practiced in this country. The Christian God isn't the ONLY god worshipped. Christmas isn't the ONLY holiday celebrated in the December/January holiday season. If stores want to use an INCLUSIVE greeting (and whether you want to admit it or not, it INCLUDES Christmas) like Happy Holidays, SO WHAT?
Now I reckon that this is going to be construed in your delusion as an anti-Christian post. You need to seek some professional help.

at my son's school....they sing kwanza songs, dradel songs and jingle bells but not silent night....i say that christians are not being treated fairly.
i demand reparations!
Nope don't think so, show me.Pale Rider said:You did fine job bashing Christmas and Christians that wanted it to remain as it has for centuries in the other thread P,....
Pale Rider said:No? You're in here SUPPORTING the bullpulit man and his Christmas bashing article. So what the fuck about that MM? You've said NOTHING in SUPPORT of Christmas.
Pale Rider said:You're completely off track here junior. You're twisting and turning the issue of the attack on Christmas into something about every other religon on earth, and it's not. That's what liberals do MM. The old shuck and jive routine. What pisses you guys off so much about me is I see right through your little liberal games and call it like it is.

The thing is you and some others are so blindly passionate about your views/opinions on certain subjects, anything contrary is taken as an affront to them. Its not normal, IMO.
That's because you didn't have a question, Arch. You made a lame ass statement.archangel said:you still did not answer my question...why are you so bitter? ...
